The present study was conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity and relationships of 5 Egyptian indigenous strains (Fayoumi, Dokki-4, Golden Montazah, Silver Montazah, and El-Salam) using 10 random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. The gel analyses were performed using GelCompare II where the matrix was constructed followed by the cluster analysis for the matrices. Three hundre...

background: keeping in view the havoc situation of dengue fever in pakistan, the current study was designed to demon­strate the genetic variations, gene flow and rate of migration from lahore and faisalabad. methods: the larvae were collected from both natural and artificial breeding places from each collection site. the adult mosquitoes were collected by means of sweep net and battery-operated...

Invasive species are one of most significant factors in human-influenced global change. Management actions that prevent the spread and impacts of invasive species require knowledge of their ecological and genetic characteristics. The genetic characteristics of the invasive wine raspberry, Rubus phoenicolasius Maxim. (Rosaceae) and the native sawtooth blackberry, Rubus argutus Link, were examine...

We characterized single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) molecular markers from 20 genotypes of Anthurium andraeanum Lind., including 3 from commercial varieties and 17 from 2 communities in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Twenty-four SPAR, consisting of 7 random amplified polymorphic DNA and 17 inter-simple sequence repeat markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of 20 Anth...

DNA fingerprinting has become an important tool for diversity assessment and varietal identification in plant breeding programs. Semi- random PCR primers targeting intron-exon splice junctions (ISJ) were used to evaluate the potential of these markers in identification and classification of rice genotypes. A total of 12 ISJ primers were used for screening fourteen Egyptian rice genotypes, inclu...

the genetic variation and diversity among fifty-eight polyvoltine silkworm genotypes was estimated by using ten economic traits. the results revealed that the single shell weight showed higher genetic variation such as pcv% (17.20%), gcv% (12.93%), and heritability (56.5%) followed by single cocoon weight, shell ratio and matured larval weight. the d2 (mahalonobis? distance) statistics revealed...

mitochondria1 dna (mtdna) control region sequences were analyzed to evaluate the population genetic structure of persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) in caspian sea. a total of 45 specimens were collected from the different locations of the caspian sea. mtdna control region was amplified using pcr. direct sequencing was performed according standard method. the results showed that 12 haplotypes...
